Page 74 has a 7 x 5 inch advertisement for a performance by the thrash metal "ANTHRAX" at the Beacon Theatre in New York City.
AI notes: On June 5, 1987, Anthrax performed at the Beacon Theatre in New York City as part of their Among the Living tour. They were joined by Cro-Mags and Metal Church. The setlist featured fan favorites like “Caught in a Mosh,” “I Am the Law,” and “Indians,” along with solos and covers, including Judas Priest’s “Living After Midnight.” The show reflected Anthrax’s rising prominence in the thrash metal scene and their energetic, crowd-engaging performances.
Also nice full page concert ads by Bryan Adams and Billy Idol. (see images)
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
The Village Voice was an American counterculture newspaper known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. It introduced free-form, high-spirited, and passionate journalism into the public discourse - a tradition it maintained throughout its 60+ year history. It is quite common to find great political cartoons, satirical cartoons and articles, thought-provoking editorials, and ads and reviews for both concerts and theater productions - both on and off Broadway. Many iconic writers and musicians credit their appearance in The Village Voice for at least a portion of their success.
Complete in 156 pages, one fold across the center, nice condition.
